Then what would be your suggestion for getting around that? For example if I would
like to render a pdf file from either a .fo file that Is passed in or from a URL to a
.fo file passed in; I was thinking of having these methods -
//~~for these, debug Is false by default
public void renderPdf(String urlToFo); //accepts URL to a .fo
file
public void renderPdf(DataHander dh); //accepts the
datahandler containing the .fo file
//~~for these debug can be turned on(or off) by passing value
explicitly
public void renderPdf(String urlToFo, boolean debugFlag);
public void renderPdf(DataHandler dh, boolean debugFlag);
Ideally in an object oriented sense if I were writing an API the above would work.
That my intention when writing a web service also. Please quide me.
Thanks

Subject: Re: Method overloading
No, this is not allowed as of WSDL1.2 and rightly so, it causes immense
confusion with dynamic systems such as workflow engines (our project).
Under WSDL1.1 I believe it was allowed but fortunately someone saw sense
and removed it.
